Club Nacional de Football is a Uruguayan sports institution that was founded in 1899 in Montevideo with the intention of creating and consolidating a football institution for Uruguayan Creoles against the predominance of clubs and European practitioners of this sport. It is considered the first ‘Creole team’ in Uruguay.
